Fun on the river will start with the Logjam Classic Canoe Race. Reg- istration begins at 9 a.m. with the race at 10 a.m. There will also be canoe and kayak rentals available to cruise the Rouge. Kids will enjoy building a paper boat and racing it down the river while the rubber duck race will start with yellow rub- ber ducks being dropped into the river from the bridge above on Wayne Road. The event will feature the live music of George Bedard and the Kingpins, Corndaddy, Troublesome Creek and Tyronne Hamilton. Howell Nature Center, Michigan State Parks, Wayne County Parks, Friends of the Rouge and Michigan Dept. of Community Health will pres- ent educational activities for the kids. There will also be food trucks and a beer tent. The goal of this event is to focus on the river and how far it has come and how it can be a true recreational opportunity in Wayne. A few years ago the dam was removed under Wayne Road and this, along with hard work from volunteers and event organizer Kurt Kuban and Mathew Mulholland, has allowed the river to flow freely and provide for recreational opportunities like ca- noeing. The improvements to the Rouge River have also improved the wildlife habitat. For more information, visit the Rouge-a-Palooza Facebook page.
